Default Re: Rear Brake Question

Well, I would almost bet that if you can find something to work, or have something modified, the front is where you'll find the real gains. It's weight, mostly unsprung, off of the right end, as well as rotating mass. It may be hard to find anything though.

You can put any end on the rear axle, and that allows you to have a lot of options back there. That end is easy, although if you've already bought axles you may be behind the 8 ball.

Default Re: Rear Brake Question

The rear end is the 8.5 O&B factory non C clip.As strong as a 12 bolt with .050 biger axles. There-fore Wilwood, make a bolt on kit..Thats no problem,my question is is it worth the investment and is there any real gain. I have always heard pros and cons I know ever car is a different senerio. It may be the same as light weight spool vs regular spool debate,but rotors and drum drag effeciency, rotating mass,if any.Thanks for any input or opinions. Dave
